Quotes, info & rumors:

Apr 05/2007 (Billboard): Mike McCready has revealed that after the last tour ended, band members have been demoing material on their own while staying in occasional contact via email and that he has tested out some ideas with guitarist Stone Gossard and drummer Matt Cameron in separate sessions as well. Talking about future Pearl Jam projects, McCready has said that Pearl Jam has "no set date" for returning to the studio and added: "When we get it all together, we'll decide to do a record. That may be a year from now or half-a-year from now".

Oct 2007: Insisting, unconfirmed and unofficial rumors report that Pearl Jam will be back in studio in spring 2008 to work on a new album.

Feb 03/2008: Jeff Ament appeared at a Seattle Sonics basketball game. Interviewed by announcer Kevin Calabro, Ament revealed that Pearl Jam are "gonna get together here in a couple of weeks and try and write some stuff" for the Seattle band's ninth studio album.

Feb 15/2008: Billboard has confirmed that before Vedder hits the road with his US solo tour in April, Pearl Jam is expected to regroup and start sketching out material for its next studio album.

Mar 11/2008: Rolling Stone reports that Ed Vedder has spent the winter surfing in Oahu, writing and hanging with his wife and three-year-old daughter. “It's a good place to be in a screwed-up world,” Vedder said. “The water is where I get most of my thinking done, and the writing just starts happening.”

Mar 21/2008: Billboard has confirmed that a couple weeks ago, band members got together for eight days to begin kicking around ideas for the next Pearl Jam album, although Ament cautions, "It doesn't mean there'll be a record our next month, but it's the start of the process. Sometimes it takes six months and sometimes it takes two years." He also added, "It's just fun to play. We've actually gotten really good at jamming with each other, so it's fun to get together and crank up the amps. We'll have (drummer) Matt (Cameron) throw a beat at us and try to come up with something. There's some new, different kind of things coming out of people." Stone Gossard also commented: "We're just getting into it, which is so exciting. We have no idea where it's going but we have a lot of great little starts."

Mar 27/2008: Rumours are spread Brendan O'Brien might be the producer of Pearl Jam's next album. According to The Living End's website: "The Living End will then be stepping in to mix the record with legendary producer Brendan O'Brien, who will be mixing the album in between his commitments recording the new AC/DC album and the new Pearl Jam record."

Apr 25/2008: Mike was on 107.7 The End radio to talk about the CCFA concert and mentioned that they were currently working on the new album. He didn't give up any more info except that they were working with their old producer (Brendan O'Brien - confirming it, actually).

Apr 30/2008: Mike McCready was on 104.9 FunkyMonkey and further confirmed Brendan O'Brien (right at the end of this interview - about 60 min in). He also said the band is working on '5 ideas' so far.

May 3/2008: "It may be a year from now before we put out a new record, maybe two years, but I don't think it'll be that long," McCready told Seattlepj. "We really want to take our time and make something that really stands out." The article adds that Pearl Jam will tour the East Coast this spring and summer but doesn't have any plans to launch a larger tour until a new album is finished. There also aren't any plans for a Seattle show in the foreseeable future.
- Rolling Stone reports that Pearl Jam have begun work on early demos for their ninth studio album. Mike McCready said: “It's really in its infant stages right now.” The band isn’t sure yet about the direction of the new release: “Brendan (O'Brien, who will produce the new album, n.d.r.) is another set of ears that we respect, and he's going to give us a different way to go but I don't know what that is yet,” McCready said. The band has already had one session with O'Brien, and will probably resume work on the album in July after finishing their June U.S. tour.
- Mike McCready told Seattle radio station KISW on May 1: "We are working on a new record right now, so we are in the process of writing a bunch of new songs, and we have our producer Brendan O'Brien - who worked on some of our earlier records - Vs. and Vitalogy. He is back with us right now so we are working on songs with him. We will try to do a record sometime this year, but that's about all we got." He added: "We've got about four or five tunes ready to go right now. They are just in the early phases. We won't give you a Chinese Democracy." (Mike ironically refers to the infinitly postponed Guns N'Roses album that Axl Rose has been working on for the past 14 years, n.d.r.).
- Billboard reports that Jeff Ament told them in March: "Brendan works really fast. He's a super pro. I've always felt, working with him, that he understood me as a bass player and that's not always easy. A lot of producers are there to please the singer. But I've always had a great rapport with him. I can tell him I want something to sound like the O'Jays or Led Zeppelin or PJ Harvey and he gets it"."We've always been friends," O'Brien told Billboard last fall. "They were great to me when we were making records together [before], and we still remained very good friends ... I still think they're a great band. Eddie [Vedder] has one of the best, if not the best, voices out there. When he sings, people believe them."

May 17/2008: About the new material the band has been working on: "Some of it's kind of poppy and some of it's a little hard. We want it to grow up a little bit. We have to revisit it a few times." As for the possibility of previewing new and unrecorded material at their next shows, McCready said that's unlikely to happen on Pearl Jam's upcoming North American tour: "I don't know if we have it refined enough to want to play it in front of an audience yet. We don't want to hack in front of everybody."

August 2008: In an interview Jeff Ament gave on Staf Magazine before PJ's summer tour, he said that the band will be back in studio in autumn/winter.

September 3/2008: Ament, interviewed by Billboard, has also confirmed that, later this fall, Pearl Jam will reconvene to continue work on its eighth studio album. "Hopefully sometime this winter we will knock a record out and," he says. "We have five or six almost finished instrumental beds, and maybe 15 other things from which we could definitely get three or four songs out of". He also hinted that the band could play some shows in Southern USA next year.

October 4/2008: Ament: "We're gonna get together in October and have a handful of sessions. We have about five or six solid instrumental arrangements, and Stone Gossard has come up with some great riffs. I think it could turn into something pretty amazing." Whats the ETA? "Hopefully by the first of the year we'll have a record to make." (Rolling Stone U.S.A.)

November 19/2008: Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament made ad interview with radio 101.1 KUFO-FM in Portland during the Cort and Fatboy show (mp3) on November 19. Ament confirmed that Pearl Jam will probably begin to record the new album in spring 2009 and hope to release it next summer/fall, approximately.

December 3/2008: On December 3, Jeff Ament took part in a live online chat on ESPN.com, website of the famous U.S. TV channel devoted to sports. During this chat, fans asked him some questions; one of them was: "When can we expect the new album?" and Jeff answered: "We're working on it... this one's souffle-like so it might take a while".

December 9/2008: McCready appeared at the Tractorn Tavern in Seattle on December 9, for a set with his Shadow '86. After closing with 'Yellow Ledbetter', Mike addressed the crowd and said that Pearl Jam were recording and writing, had about 9 songs and that Ed had come up with something really punk and cool the day before that he was really excited about.

January 30/2009: McCready appeared on Seattle's 97.3 FM Kiro radio for a phone interview and said that Pearl Jam are currently working on 18/19 songs. The band's new album is likely to be released in late summer 2009, so the guitar player stated.

February 04/2009: The February '09 issue of Rolling Stone magazine (US print edition) features an interesting interview with Pearl Jam members talking about the new album. These are the main extracts:

- They plan to release their ninth studio album on their own, without a label. "We'll make deals with a number of partners - retail, online and probably mobile, too" says Pearl Jam manager Kelly Curtis, adding that the group will sell digital and physical versions of the album on its own website. "The cool thing is, as the record companies are kind of dying, the opportunities are growing"
- The band will soon begin recording with producer Brendan O'Brien and hopes to release the still-untitled disc by yhe fall. "At this point, I think we're willing to let somebody cut the songs up a little bit," says Vedder. "In the past, Brendan would say, 'It's a great song, but I think you should do it in a different key', and we'd say no. But now that we've heard Bruce has listened to his suggestions, I think we will too."
- Pearl Jam are carrying through with the punchy, melodic energy of their last album. One song, a garage-y composition by Vedder, repeats the lyric "see my friends" over Stooges-meet-the-Who power chords and loose. Johnny Thunders-inspired lead guitar from Mike McCready. Another tune, penned by drummer Matt Cameron, is a bigger surprise: it's sleek power pop, with a Stones-y intro riff-leading into a tight, chiming verse and a catchy vocal melody that wouldn't be out of place on a Kings of Leon record. "That could have been a seven-minute, weird, sideways kind of artsy song with a cool groove," Vedder says. "I thinkered with it after everyone left, and we shrunk it down and turned into somethig else... I'm thinking about set lists: 'Will this be a song we'll play every night?'"
- "The new record feels good so far - really strong and uptempo, stuff we can sink our teeth into," says Vedder, who has seen his songwriting shift direction since the election. "I've tried, over the years, to be hopeful in the lyrics, and I think that's going to be easier now." Last year, everyone but Vedder gathered in bassist Jeff Ament's Montana house for a songwriting retreat. "It's the first time since the first record that we've really rehearsed," says Ament, "instead of just going to the studio with a handful of ideas". While Vedder seems most excited by the idea of short, fastsongs - citing Guided by Voices as an inspiration - his bandmates emphasize other parts of the recors. "There's plenty of ballads, too," says Stone Gossard. "And there's some shifts in how Jeff And Matt and I are all relating - I think this record's got a chance to sound significantly different." Adds Ament, "There's a couple of great things that Ed brought in that could be real departures for us. Whatever wave Ed caught with 'Into the Wild' has taken him to different places."

February 06/2009: Billboard reports that Pearl Jam is about to hit the studio for a two-week session in Los Angeles with producer Brendan O'Brien as it continues work on its ninth studio album. After laying down some instrumental beds last summer, additional demos were put to tape in December, and the band's non-singing members formulated another batch of material during a recent trip to Montana. Frontman Eddie Vedder "put rough vocals on about half the stuff we worked on in December," says bassist Jeff Ament. "There's a handful of really great lyrics. Lyrically, that stuff is in the embryonic stage, but there's a handful of lines and a couple of choruses that are just really great. He keeps getting better." This will be the first time Pearl Jam has spent significant time recording outside Seattle since 1996's "No Code. "There's certainly been groups of songs that we've recorded very quickly," Ament says. "When we went to Atlanta and New Orleans, we could knock out two, three, four songs in the same amount of days. We did the same thing in Chicago. I'm kind of approaching it with the idea that it'll work out like those sessions did." Ament says the band is very excited about the return of O'Brien: "He brings a brutally honest approach to what he thinks is working and what isn't, and it really moves things along," he says. We don't get waded down with ideas that maybe aren't even that good. He's one of the few people outside of the band that we trust with our music, and we're really, really looking forward to making this record."

March 24/2009: In a recent interview with ShockHound Magazine, Jeff Ament revealed that one of the songs that the band has been working on lately is titled "The Fixer".

March 27/2009: Mike McCready appeared at the Ron & Don Show on Seattle's KIRO 97.3fm radio (mp3) for a phone interview, confirming that that the band is halfway through recording their new album (they recorded 14 songs so far) and it is very likely that the album will come out later this year. The guitarist also confirmed that Pearl Jam will be doing a small U.S. tour in September.
